Databases are a crucial part of your tech stack. Often, multiple application services can rely on a single database. For this reason, being able to have deep visibility into your database at the query level is vital. While traditionally the responsibility of database monitoring is limited to a database admin team, at Datadog we believe in the value of empowering application developers to troubleshoot themselves.  In this workshop you will learn about why database monitoring is important and how Datadog Database Monitoring (DBM) will help you both troubleshoot and proactively optimize databases by examining query performance. You will learn how to set up DBM and navigate the Datadog platform as well as walk through common troubleshooting and optimization scenarios.
